Players that celebrate ( seperately ) their 'assists' as if they scored the actual Goal.

agreed. a worrying new trend in the game.

Was Sturridge one of them? I thought I saw him do it

Some assists much better than the finish.  Hate to see someone tap in from a yard after their teammate creates and then the scorer celebrates like they're a hero.

^^^still not a goal, why celebrate on your own

if they've put themselves in their fantasy team I dont see a problem with this, 3 points is 3 points afterall

What's even worse is when a winger beats three men. avoids career-threatening tackles, makes it to the  bye line, chips in a perfect cross to striker in front of open goal, striker taps in, AND THEN THE STRIKER RUNS TO THE FANS TOTALLY IGNORING THE WINGER AND CELEBRATES LIKE HE HAD SCORED GOAL OF THE SEASON.

sturridge deffo,does it all the time,him and john terry could be roomies...oh hang on a minute..

I dived for a penalty the other day and got it, my teammate stroked it home it=n something simaler style to messi tonight, but everyone nos its as much my goal as his

Wtf you on about? If you celebrate an assist surely it shows it's not all about yourself?

Yeah that annoys me.

Checkmate; Both have done their job then. But agreed some strikers acknowledge their assists from team mates others don't.

i don't know who the two players your on about are but what is wrong with celebrating an assist? You've just helped your team score a goal....

You don't see it at Barca, for example. Celebrating an assist is a bit egotistical and ott imo.

Yea but at barca they score goals for fun, not the case at mid table fodder like southampton r manure r something, should celebrate if they want

^^Not rising to that bait, Bhoys

I dont understand what you mean by celebrate? All i see if the player run up too the goalscorer and celebrate with them. Don't think ive ever seen a player actually run and slide ect when they have assisted a goal.

Why is it the players run to congratulate the player
who taps in from 2 yards when all the work is done by
others who are mainly ignored?

who was the ref who "celebrated" a good advantage he played that led to a goal?

a few years ago now.

alright was it the same player celebrating 2 assists or 2 players,

i was thinking kyle naughton,

naughton and klyne,

its another load of rollocks from the moderngame anyway,
a midfield player can play a shocking leg breaking pass which a striker through speed and bravery can turn into a goal and the midfielders gets an assist
or a deadball player can aim a cross to his centre forward miss him by 30 yds and the full back nods in and he still gets an assist

a ref who celebrated an advantage, thats excellent, please tell me someone has a clip of that

howard webb celebrating sending anyone off against utd
